I believe an instructional school leader is one that is highly versed in the core curriculum and instructional practices aligned with the school’s targeted developmental age. Together with their staff and other valuable stakeholders, an instructional leader should foster an environment that requires rigorous instruction, common-meaningful assessment and accountability. The school leader should provide quality opportunities for teachers to master their craft, and opportunities to be on the cutting edge of their profession. An instructional leader should ensure that the best possible instruction is reaching students and resulting in student success.

Throughout this process, I also learned the importance of being mindful of the time of day in which an intervention and enrichment block is scheduled. A time devoted to intervention and enrichment can have a positive impact on student achievement when placed at the optimal time in the schedule. Through this process, I learned the importance of being creating with the use of time during the school day.
